Tomato Seeds 'Premio' F1 - Marshalls Garden

Sow seeds indoors or in a greenhouse from late February to April for the best start.

While 'Premio' F1 has excellent blight resistance, good air circulation, avoiding overhead watering, and removing lower leaves can further help prevent disease.

'Cordon' means the plant grows as a single, upright stem. It requires support and regular pinching out of side shoots to encourage vertical growth and fruiting.

It is primarily recommended for indoor or protected cultivation (greenhouse, patio, sheltered spots). Outdoor growth is possible in very sheltered and warm locations, but it is less reliable than protected growing.

Check plants every few days and pinch out any new side shoots that appear in the leaf axils (where the side shoot meets the main stem). Do this while they are still small.

Use a good quality, free-draining compost or soil. For container growing, a specialized tomato compost is ideal.

You can expect to start harvesting from August, timed for peak summer eating.

Ensure seeds are sown at the correct depth, kept consistently warm (around 18-21°C), and moist. Use fresh seed compost.

Ensure adequate light. Seedlings may need to be planted slightly deeper when transplanted. Provide good air circulation.

Check for adequate sunlight, consistent watering, and appropriate feeding. Ensure pollinators have access if growing indoors or assist manually.

This can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or a nutrient deficiency. Adjust watering schedule and consider feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Ensure consistent watering and adequate feeding. Proper pruning (pinching out side shoots) is vital for directing energy to fruit development.
